[Solved] Getting network working on EVGA x58 build.

[NadTheVlad]

Got Sierra installed on the disk. Ran multibeast and system loads on its own. But don't have any internet.

MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
Unibeast 7.1.1
Multibeast 9.21
Legacy boot mode for clover

132-GT-E768 x58 EVGA FTW3 SLi Motherboard
EVGA 1060

I have both lan ports enabled in bios.
When running multibeast I tried each of the three options for the realtek lan drivers.
RealtekTRL8111 v2.0.0
RealtekTRL8111 v2.1.0d1
RealtekTRL8111 v2.2.1

MB config is in the pics.

Have seen some some threads where RealtekTRL8111 v0.0.9 were working for evga x58 boards. But it was with Lion.

Not sure if it would be wise to try that older driver with Sierra.

Thanks for your help!

Try to install the kext manually :

Remove any previous failed attempts from /Library/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions.

Open Finder and browse to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ then delete these two files :

• NetworkInterfaces.plist
• preferences.plist

Download this kext and put it on your desktop.
Download and run KextBeast selecting /Library/Extensions as the location.

In Terminal :

sudo kextcache -i /

Press return, type your password (it will not show on screen), press return again and when the command has completed, restart.
